PARASESSION, APRIL 12-13
IS LINGUISTICS AN EMPIRICAL SCIENCE?
THEORY AND DATA IN LINGUISTICS
Theory and data are inextricably intertwined in all fields of research.
What counts as evidence, and what counts as counterevidence? We invite
original, unpublished work on the relative roles of theory and data in
linguistic argumentation, focusing on such issues as:
> The validity of external evidence
> The significance of historical evidence in synchronic grammar
> How decisions about notation affect both theory and data
> The importance of linguistic diversity for universal claims
> Conflicting definitions of language
> New implications from ancient and non-Western linguistics
> The relation of linguistic methods to those in other disciplines
INVITED SPEAKERS
Hans Aarsleff, Princeton University
Michael Krauss, University of Alaska
William Labov, University of Pennsylvania
James McCawley, University of Chicago
Joseph Paul Stemberger, University of Minnesota
ABSTRACTS
Please submit ten copies of a one-page, 500-word, anonymous abstract
(for a 25-minute paper), along with a 3x5" card with your name,
affiliation, address, phone number, e-mail address, title of paper,
and indication of whether the paper in intended for the main session
or the parasession. If the paper is intended for the main session,
please specify its subject matter (e.g. Phonetics/Phonology,
Syntax/Semantics, Historical Linguistics, Discourse Analysis,
Morphology, etc.)
The abstract should be as specific as possible, and it should clearly
indicate the data covered, outline the arguments presented, and
inclusde any broader implications of the work. One page of data
and/or references may be appended, if necessary. An individual may
present at most one single and one co-authored paper. Authors whose
abstracts are accepted agree to submit for publication a camera-ready
copy of their paper by May 15, 1996.
Deadline for receipt of abstracts is January 31, 1996. Send abstracts to:
Chicago Linguistic Society
1010 East 59th street
Chicago, Illinois 60637
(312)702-8529
Abstracts sent via e-mail will not be considered, but further
information may be obtained from cls at sapir.uchicago.edu.

CALL FOR PAPERS
Special Issue of _Computers and the Humanities_
on
Computer Programming for the Humanities
Guest Editor
Eric Johnson <JohnsonE at columbia.dsu.edu>
TOPICS: Submissions of articles are invited that focus on any
aspect of computer programming for the humanities -- including
articles on topics such as the following:
Programming methodologies and software design principles
used to create computer programs in the humanities;
In particular, description of facets of humanities
programming which distinguish it from other kinds of
programming;
An overview (or projection of the future) of programming for
the humanities using
C and C++
Icon
Pascal
Perl
SNOBOL4 and SPITBOL
other computer languages
Descriptions of actual programming experiences (recently
finished or in progress) which raise significant questions
and problems.
Description of a specific programming application (or a type
of application) for the humanities -- including the visual
arts, drama, history, and music as well as literature and
linguistics.
In addition to technical papers, general discussion or opinion
papers are invited on topics that grapple with questions such as
the following:
Do humanists who create computer programs do so in ways
different from computer scientists? Do they more (or less)
readily grasp an overview of a computing problem and see the
general framework of a solution? Do they write computer
code differently? Do they prefer particular computer
languages?
Occasionally those with humanities educations and solid
academic positions in the humanities assume positions
normally held only by those with degrees in computer
science. How is that possible? Do those with educations in
computer science ever assume positions in the humanities?
LENGTH: Articles of any length will be considered. It is
expected that articles will range from 2,500 to 12,000 words --
except for opinion articles or overview articles which might be
shorter.
FORMAT: Submissions should begin with the following information:
Title of paper
Name of author(s)
Affiliation of author(s) including email address
List of up to 10 key words
Abstract of article
followed by the text of the paper with a blank line between
paragraphs.
All notes should be collected at the end of the paper under the
heading of "Notes." A section titled "References" or "Works
Cited" (if needed) is the last part of the paper.
SUBMISSION: All submissions should be via electronic media --
email and FTP are strongly encouraged. Articles that can be
saved as ASCII files (with line breaks and lines no longer than
80 characters) should be sent via email to the guest editor, Eric
Johnson, at
JohnsonE at columbia.dsu.edu
The guest editor should be contacted via email at the above
address about arrangements to transmit articles containing
special characters or graphics that cannot be saved as ASCII
files.
DEADLINE: February 1, 1996
Writers are encouraged to contact the guest editor to ask
questions or to express interest in contributing to the special
issue prior to emailing submissions.
